Nothing the left hates more than someone who highlights the glaring holes in their favorite narratives. Especially when it's a member of an "oppressed" group doing the highlighting. It just drives them completely off the rails.

Absolutely. Nothing pisses off the toxic tranny brigade on reddit quicker than making a valid argument against whatever batshit insane ideology they have. They will censor/cancel and ban you faster than they can say "I'm for free speech!"

People who have no good argument resort to censorship and threats.

I think it's less left vs right and more insane troglodytes fucking shit up. That said, there's definitely this ideal on the left that everyone must ascribe to the "truth" and that anyone who doesn't is some sort of race traitor, as if a race is a monolith of people who think all exactly the same.

The right has a similar mindset with apostasy but tends to lack the race traitor aspect in my opinion, they're more focused on the ideal of culture as a transcendental property largely divorced from ones ancestry.

One critique I'll make is that there's a difference between say , "hate based" racism, and love based racism, the bigotry of soft expectations as it were, pure hate based racism, is pretty universally condemned in society apart from some isolated pockets, but most people seem to hold to an idea that certain racial groups are inferior as is betrayed by their actions towards them even if they'll disagree with the statement outright.

There is this concept, that originated (as best as I can tell) in the late 19th century, and was summed up best by Kipling in a poem called "The White Man's Burden," that basically posits that non-whites aren't capable of getting by on their own and need to be uplifted by white, European-descended civilizations. That it's effectively our God-given duty as the better people to bring those unfortunate savages up to our level, whether they want it or no.

All of the crying about cultural appropriation, lowering or removing testing barriers in academics, the enforced DEI everywhere? A lot of the progressive left's ideologies absolutely reek of this, and I've referred to it before as the 2.0 edition (cleaned up and rebranded for a new century) of the older White Man's Burden.

they had to reverse course hard when it was pointed out that (unsurprisingly since they're ~70% of the country) police killed more whites than AAs; nor could they go to death rates (since that'd mean Black and White deaths by police would have to be completely ignored in favor of Native ones, THEN we were "allowed" to talk about the less-urgent crises)

If you adjust for various factors as well you'll find that most of the differences are more aligned along class differences based on income and location rather than race, it's just the race distinctions are disproportionately weighted towards certain classes.

When traveling even get the same, have white people in non-white countries whining about getting stopped and searched by the cops as racism, well yeah like obviously you aren't a local sure but I'm guessing you're stopped more because you are dressed like a stoner and they suspect you've got ganja, try shaving getting a haircut and wearing a three piece suit and they'll probably ignore the fuck out of you.

Didn't Claudine Gay have a hand in that too?

Yes, she was one of the people who attacked him.

Black professor once targeted by Claudine Gay had one word for her fall from grace: ‘Karma’

In a striking paradox, pro-meritocracy conservatives and pro-DEI Democrats alike can revel in the schadenfreude of Claudine Gay’s fall from grace—because her antics are just that ridiculous. In a since-deleted post to X, Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., a Harvard law professor, high-profile criminal defense attorney, and former college dean said Gay’s disgraced resignation was… “Karma.” You might recall the name from headlines a few years back—Sullivan once served as a faculty dean for Harvard’s Winthrop House, a position from which he was ousted after he agreed to represent Harvey Weinstein, in large part, due to Gay’s influence. Here’s this, from political pundit Wesley Yang:

As Dean of Faculty of Arts and Science, Gay refused to defend Sullivan’s right to provide legal counsel to an unpopular client and played a key role in the decision to remove him from his role as Harvard's first and only black faculty dean in response to student demands. In doing so, Gay shunted aside an appeal by 52 members of the Harvard Law School faculty, who in an open letter to the administration characterized the right to defend unpopular clients as foundational to their own academic freedom and to the rule of law itself.

Gay didn’t just come after Sullivan though, she came for his wife, Stephanie Robinson, too; from an announcement via Harvard’s Crimson:

Dean of the College Rakesh Khurana announced that he will not renew Winthrop Faculty Deans Ronald S. Sullivan, Jr. and Stephanie R. Robinson after their term ends on June 30 in an email to House affiliates Saturday morning.

(As The New York Times noted, Sullivan and Robinson were “the first African-American faculty deans in Harvard’s history.”)

But the apparent persecution wasn’t just a one-off, and according to a report out at The Washington Free Beacon yesterday, Gay also went after Roland Fryer, a “renowned black economics professor at Harvard,” and “suspended and revoked” Fryer’s “many academic privileges” after applying the Brett Kavanaugh presumption of guilt.

A black former law professor, Winkfield Twyman Jr. (who by all appearances gives me the impression he is an honest Democrat, admitting his love for “race pioneers”), said this of Gay’s witch hunt again Fryer:

[I]n the face of numerous mounting scandals, many are defending Gay by claiming that the attacks against her are racial in nature.

They are not. They are all well deserved.

Did you know that Claudine Gay during her Harvard career has repeatedly targeted and disrupted the careers of prominent Black male professors?

Fryer was a top Black professor at Harvard. After having overcome all sorts of hardship and childhood deprivation, Professor Fryer joined the faculty at Harvard to become the second-youngest professor ever to be awarded tenure at Harvard, and went on to blaze a trail of distinction, including winning the MacArthur Fellowship and the John Bates Clark Medal.

Yet when Fryer undertook research into the killings of unarmed Black men in Houston, Fryer’s research found no racial disparities. He made the mistake of undercutting the racial narrative that the Left has adopted, and as a result, Gay did her best to remove all of his academic privileges, coordinating a witch hunt against him. Fryer survived Gay's crusade of discharge but Fryer’s lab was shut down, his reputation tarnished.

So as we celebrate the departure of Gay, let’s also pour one out for the black academics who suffered demotions and destroyed reputations when they dared do their jobs in Gay’s sphere of influence.

Wokeness really is a cult. As soon as you disagree with them on anything, all their so-called compassion and professed goals are thrown out the window so they can attack you.

Repentance is not accepted in the woke religion. You say something and there is no forgiveness
